Well, he was right when he claimed he would have been correct if not for the misinformation campaign(on his side).

The "Grievance Studies Affair," also dubbed "Sokal Squared"
In 2017 and 2018, three scholars—Peter Boghossian, James A. Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose—submitted 20 intentionally absurd and fabricated papers to various academic journals within fields they termed "grievance studies," such as gender studies, race studies, and critical theory. Their goal was to expose what they perceived as a lack of rigor and ideological bias in these disciplines.
Out of the 20 papers submitted:
- 4 were published
- 3 were accepted but not yet published
- 6 were rejected
- 7 were still under review at the time the hoax was revealed
One notable example was a paper titled "Human Reactions to Rape Culture and Queer Performativity at Urban Dog Parks in Portland, Oregon," which was published in the journal Gender, Place & Culture. This paper purported to study the sexual behaviors of dogs in dog parks and drew parallels to human rape culture.
The revelation of this project sparked widespread debate about academic standards, peer review processes, and the influence of ideological perspectives in certain fields of study. Critics argued that the hoax highlighted vulnerabilities in academic publishing, while others contended that the methods used were unethical and undermined genuine scholarship.
This affair is reminiscent of the original "Sokal Hoax" in 1996, where physicist Alan Sokal submitted a nonsensical paper to the journal Social Text to critique the intellectual rigor of postmodernist critiques of science.
The "science community" published 4 obviously junk expert papers as actual expertise.
This is why "consensus science" today is absolute bullshit.

Nah bro, that was the propaganda machine's ideas. And that propaganda machine is being liquidated for scraps as we speak.

History will not be kind to us.
It wasn't kind to any failed cult like the TDS cult.
History wasn't kind to Sen. Joe McCarthy
History wasn't kind to Judge William Stoughton.

I suppose Putin will be anti-nuclear war as well when he retaliates and launches conventional cruise missiles from his subs into the middle of New York.

he'll have the justice department and presidential immunity so he won't need to concern himself with it.
lol,
impeachment: flop
justice system: flop
assassination: flop
It's like there's too many "guard rails" to allow subverting a democratically elected president.

There's a lot of "human ethnocentrism" when discussing "aliens"
We also tend to lose perspective of the vastness of time and space by wrongly thinking 100 years is a meaningful time span, or 1 light year is a meaningful distance.

That's why they have to "successfully" cheat. If that means playing the "judge game"
Then do it. After that, laws will be made that have much less designed ambiguity so the courts cannot select who is in office instead of the voters.
Every war ends after a period of attrition, and there needs to be a body count on the other side in order to negotiate a fair deal.

Most corruption is done at the state level. That's why there needs to be more outrage in those states. If Republicans (successfully) cheat enough, the local election laws will change.

@n8nrgim
the bottom line I s that all I see you doing, is using third grade logic about the scientific process against expert consensus opinion
And I will continue to do so, because a 3rd grade result from a scientific study will always be more trustworthy than the consensus of a bunch of dudes without any study.

@n8nrgim
but, the experts say "the long term safety is okay,"
With no long term testing. That makes them "fake experts"
If they lied about what the vax could do AFTER the testing showed the limitations of the vax....why should we trust them to predict the results of long-term testing that are not available yet? Whether it was a lie of omission such as omitting obesity as a major mortality risk or an outright lie saying you can't infect others if you take the shot, it doesn't really matter, does it?
I'm not going to trust a liar, no matter where he got his PhD from. I get it that many were guessing what the vax could do at the start, but there was no excuse for paid government experts to keep spreading misinformation years after the initial studies came out to the public.
if the average death rate being unvaxed is two in a thousand, what would it be for a healthy person?
There are well documented studies about this. Don't take my word for it.
the only thing I see you doing is using third grade logic against experts.well what's the answer smart guy who did his research?
Ad-homs are even less convincing than fake experts declaring a vax safe with no evidence or testing.
